CANTONESE SEAFOOD SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine fish fillets, soy sauce, sherry, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Mix well and leave to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Heat remaining vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add onions, chopped shallots, and celery. Cover saucepan and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add marinated fish fillets and marinating juices and cook for a further 10 minutes.
• Taste Cantonese fish soup and adjust seasoning. Pour into soup bowls and garnish with remaining shallots. Cantonese fish soup is ready. Bone Appetite!

Steps:

• Assuming you were starting with a whole entire winter melon, we'd:
• We'll be dicing our fish fillets (we used tilapia), shrimp (deveined, de-shelled), crab or imitation crab, and yellow chives. These are all cut into about 1 cm pieces.
• Set the stove on high heat and start boiling water and chicken broth.
• Once the pot has come to a boil, we'll add our winter melon to the pot, stir, and cover. Let the winter melon cook for 5-7 minutes. Once it comes to a boil again, we can proceed to thicken our soup.
• Almost there! Like a true chef, my dad always tastes his dish in case he needs to adjust the flavor at all.
